Industrial Addiction

Rasputina - Tourniquet Lyrics

by Ambient Decay on March 19th, 2008

 I believe Marilyn Manson may have came out with this song prior to Rasputina, though, I’m not quite sure and honestly, I don’t give a crap. This version of “Tourniquet” is better preformed and the beat is more interesting in my opinion…

I have met others who prefer the Manson Version, but I think that is because they heard that one first. However, one of the MAIN reasons on why I find this song so enjoyable is because of the fact the two artists came together and produced this song.

Anyone can tell that this Rasputina song has a harder hitting beat; more so than normal. This is what makes it addicting. Now the bigger and harder hitting beat of course came from Manson’s remix, but the ladies seductive voices is what makes the song have a unique bite and fantastic allure.

I’m made of hair and bone and little teeth
I think I cannot speak
I come on like a crippled plaything
My spine is just a string
I wrapped our love in all this foil
Silver tight like spider legs
I never wanted it to ever spoil
But flies will lay their eggs

Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my neck
You never ever believed in me
I am your tourniquet

Prosthetic synthesis with butterfly
Sealed up with virgin stitch
If it hurts baby please don’t cry
Preserve my innocence
I never wanted it to end this way
But flies will lay their eggs

Take your hatred out on me
Make me your victim tonight
You never ever belived in me
I am your tourniquet

What I wanted
What I needed
I tried to get for me
Nothing wanted
Nothing needed
No one comes for free

Take your hatred out on me
Make your victim my neck
You never ever believed in me
I am your touniquet

You never ever believed in me
You never ever believed
You never ever believed in me
You never ever believed

As Always, Here is A Fix.
